But still I did not get something. How come FreeBSD see my Hard Drive as 'wd0' and at the same time 'ad0' (in dmesg or fdisk) Is it some kind of kernel issue? Can someone explain it to me please? Let's say I have Hard drive with 2 partitions on it First partition is FreeBSD (active) Second one is NTFS (win2k) So it looks like ad0s1 is FreeBSD ad1s1 is NTFS ? Am I right or wrong ? does ad?(0 or 1) means partition number, and ad(?)s* means slice on that partition (like ad0s1a, 1a is a slice on a partition 0 ?) Please help me out with understanding this :) P.S. CC me please, since I am not on the list. Thanks a lot. Andrei.

Here is mine -- wash:/usr/home/wash$ mount /dev/ad0s2a on / (ufs, local) /dev/ad0s2f on /usr (ufs, local) /dev/ad0s2e on /var (ufs, local) /dev/ad0s1 on /win (msdos, local) /dev/ad1s1 on /win2k (ntfs, local, read-only) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ /dev/rda1s1c on /2usr (ufs, local) procfs on /proc (procfs, local) Either you do not have /dev/wd1s1 or your Windows Partition is not on this particular slice you're referring to and you need to identify the CORRECT slice. _OR_ go to /dev and do sh MAKEDEV wd1s1 if it is not there. A "sh MAKEDEV all" might be better.. I stand corrected if it is not this way. -Wash -- Odhiambo Washington Inter-Connect Ltd., wash@iconnect.co.ke 5th Flr Furaha Plaza Tel: 254 11 222604 Nkrumah Rd., Fax: 254 11 222636 PO Box 83613 MOMBASA, KE.
